We will host a masterclass exploring the principles of particle imaging and analytical techniques, helping you interpret and enhance your imaging-based particle characterization workflows.
We’ll cover why particle shape matters, how to measure it effectively and compare different imaging techniques. You’ll also gain hands-on insights into method development, sample preparation, and practical strategies for overcoming common imaging challenges.
Speakers
- Anne Virden - Product Manager, Malvern Panalytical
- Jenny Bert - Senior Applications Specialist - Physico-Che, Malvern Panalytical
- Rob Taylor - Segment Marketing Manager, Malvern Panalytical
More information
Do you want to understand your materials better? How easily a powder will flow, how quickly it will dissolve, will a tablet hold together? This is where imaging can help.
Automated image analysis brings an extra level of detail to particle characterization. Providing particle images, multiple size and shape parameters and automatically measuring a large number of particles.
In the first webinar in this imaging masterclass, we will cover:
- Why measure particle shape: How particle morphology affects flowability, dissolution, stability and many other aspects of product performance
- What can shape parameters tell us: Understand how shape parameters, like aspect ratio, circularity, elongation and more can be used to predict product performance.
- How to measure particle shape: We’ll go into detail on how image analysis measurements are carried out and different options such as static and dynamic image analysis.
- How image analysis can be used to complement other techniques, like laser diffraction.
- Case studies and applications: Real world examples of how automated image analysis is used to understand material performance.
In the rest of the series, we’ll go into more detail on how to develop methods for image analysis, we’ll go into the lab for a demonstration of the Morphologi 4, and show how morphological and chemical analysis can be combined to provide even more insight!
Who Should Attend?
- Scientists, researchers, and engineers working in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food, and materials science.
- Quality control and process engineers seeking better particle characterization methods.
- Anyone interested in how shape analysis complements other techniques like laser diffraction.
